Recenzii

A punky, funny, furious takedown of the cult of the classic... the piece never denies that Chekhov still speaks to us, it also questions its existence... loud, rude, provocative and, yes, messy - that's all part of its glorious defiance. Don't go expecting the pretty, predictable or polite. But do go. ????
A gloriously playful evening, stuffed with musical richness. If you know the original you will note how the company both honour its structure and smash it... it understands that each generation must take what they need from a play and that it must speak not to the past but to the millions of Olgas, Irinas and Mashas of today. Otherwise, why bother? ????
Less a take on the play than a music and movement-fuelled examination of why plays like this continue to be staged... some of the basic features of Chekhov's play remain, but RashDash push at its edges and mess with its mechanics... RashDash incisively skewers the privileged ennui of Chekhov's characters and the limited horizons the playwright imagined for his female protagonists. If the classics aren't for everyone, RashDash ask, then what are they for? ????
'Funny, furious - loud, rude, provocative and messy.'
